4G Deployment Creates Wireless Backhaul Opportunities for Equipment Vendors, CLECs, and Cable MSOs
March 19, 2007
WiMAX to roll across Texas | www.mobiletechnews.com
With several thousand cell sites across these three markets, Sprint will likely need to efficiently migrate from T1 based backhaul to a broadband fiber and wireless backhaul network. This broadens the opportunity base for competitive carriers and mobile backhaul providers to take market share from incumbent telcos in the shifting backhaul market. The question is who will answer the call and how will the incumbent telcos react? Will the Cable MSOs and/or equipment vendors join the party? How will these early network deployments set the stage for the broader wireless backhaul market supporting 3G and 4G deployments?
